Question

Why do you believe in Global Warming? If you do believe in Global Warming where did you learn about it?

Answer 1

Haha I agree with the Global Cooling theory! Haha Well, I particularly am being "green" but that doesn't mean that I believe in Al Gore science Haha... Now he thinks he is God. Well I have been watching documentaries saying that there is really a jet stream causing some odd weather recently and so on. It is very interesting to see how stupid liberal dumba**es think I am.

Answer 2

I don't.  The federal gov't gave 2 billion dollars to scientists last year to prove global warming exists.  Since scientists live and die by grant money, can you guess what they are going to say?

Answer 3

I still believe in the Global Cooling that they tried to convince us was happening a few decades ago.

Well, there ya go Samantha.  Cannot compose an intelligent counter point so you resort to name calling and insults huh?

Answer 4

I believe in global warming for the same reason I believe in medicines, it is the consensus view of the best scientific thought. Global warming has been a big part of my studies, and I believe in it from having read lots and lots of evidence formulas etc..  The mechanisms and explanations are often complicated and nuanced, this means it is fairly easy to convince people it isn't happening.

The scientific body has no real reason to lie about it, but oil companies etc do..

Personally I can see no reason so many people would just make it up.

If you are interested the best way is do read a lot about it from accredited and non biased sources, then make up your own mind.

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)
